Pittsburgh Pirates

A 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Clemente, Mazeroski, Law, Stuart, and Vernon is worth about $1,200.-$2,000. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. In a recent auction (Oct. 2008) a 1960 Pittsburgh Pirates Team Signed Baseball sold for $2,390.00 Baseballs that feature a Roberto Clementesignature have been on the rise in recent years. The condition and placement (sweet spot) of Roberto Clemente's signature could be key in getting added value. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.

Roberto Clemente does not hold any records but this is resume: exactly 3,000 hits, World series Champion 1960 and 1971, World series MVP 1971, 12 Gold Gloves, National League MVP 1966, First Latin player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and Humanitarian,

Roberto Clemente was the father of three boys, Roberto Jr, Luis, and Enrique.

Dave Augustine played in 9 games at outfield for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1973, starting in none of them. He played for a total of 66 outs, equivalent to 2.44 9-inning games.

He made 4 putouts, had one assist, and committed no errors, equivalent to 0 errors per 9-inning game. He had no double plays.

Kevin Young played in 37 games at first base for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1994, starting in 11 of them. He played for a total of 424 outs, equivalent to 15.7 9-inning games.

He made 167 putouts, had 7 assists, and committed no errors, equivalent to 0 errors per 9-inning game. He had 19 double plays.

.208 on 26 hits in 125 at bats with 4 HRs, 16 RBIs, and 32 strikeouts. Of all pitchers that Clemente had at least 100 at bats against, his average against Gibson was the lowest.

The real "Killer B's" were Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla and Sid Bream. Jay Bell also got some mention but not initially. Plus, I think to be included among the real "Killer B's," a player had to have spent more than one year with the Pirates.

[edit]

Wally Backman was in there too. Obviously there was no formal listing but the team did use this in promotional materials for the 1990 season. That's why Backman should be listed but not Steve Buechele.

Sid Bream was not a Killer B in Pittsburgh. He played for the Braves at the time.

[edit #3]

In 1990 there was Barry Bonds, Jay Bell, Bobby Bonilla, Wally Backman, and Sid Bream as well as a pitcher named Stan Belinda. Not hard to see where the "Killer Bees" moniker came from.

In 1991 Backman and Bream were gone by way of Free Agency.

In 1992, Folks might be surprised to know that Bonilla had left also (to the Cubs in free agency I believe); leaving only Bonds and Bell and the Pitcher Belinda. Bream, then with the Braves, scored the winning run in the Championship Series to keep the Pirates from going to the World Series. That was the end of "those" winning Pirates and, due to the Pirates decision not to pay to retain superior free agents, it was their last winning season.

By 1993 only Jay Bell remained and that was the first of their 17 consecutive (and still counting) losing seasons -- the longest losing streak in American professional sports.

yes the 1800 were thouge tuff

Clemente was a strong supporter of the civil rights movement, especially MLK's work. However, he had to focus on baseball and was not able to participate in many civil rights events. Remember that after his career, he helped in Nicaragua a lot and also died a very untimely and early death.

Friday nights are dollar hot dogs...I know there are a few nights throughout the season that have $1 tickets but not many. I went to one back in Apr. I think there's only ~5 all season.
